the company is being started by a guy called David Malone who is really into & enjoys his cars, he owns 2 saff cossies, a lotus carlton, an APT V.W. Toureg & my favorite a minter than mint Rover P6 3500S
Chris Todd is in charge of the dyno & mechanical stuff, most know Chris & is his work, that speaks for its self
things should be underway by Febuary, maybe in time to arrange another PF rolling road day

Lets just say you can throw a stone and hit PE's workshop from the new gaff.

Personally I think Mr Todds work is a second to none.

The only problem I can see is, he is going to be run off his feet with customers following him to the new place.

Might be worth letting them get settled first, Chris'll need an extra man to help if you have a RR day. I'm helping out on the first FFOC RR day (apparently lol)

The big fella david malone is sat on my right and confirms its a DD 450 Series 4 wheel drive low boy chassis dynometer / rolling road and it is hoped to be commissioned in time for the first weekend in march. The first group to use it are the FFOC. rest of the workshop is ready for Toddy for his start on the 15th of january 2007........

you wont need a stone to hit PE its closer than that !

call chris in mid febuary if you want to watch the rr being commissioned using davids lotus carlton , abt touareg, both saffs + others. its going to be fun!

watch this space


oh and im martin btw

yes mate

dyno dynamics are suppling the cooling and extracts fans and its them who are installing the rr and seting it all up. If the road is good for up to 600bhp on the front and 1200bhp rear and 1800bhp for both im sure the fans are too.

thanks for showing interest
